Day 11 of my “30 Days of MN Agriculture” is Steven and Jodi Ohlsen Read, Shepherd’s Way Farms from Nerstrand. Nerstrand is located about an hour south of St. Paul.

What I found interesting is their mission statement:

At Shepherd’s Way Farms, we believe there is a way to live that combines hard work, creativity, respect for the land and animals, and a focus on family and friends. We believe the small family-based farm still has a place in our society. Everything we do, everything we make, is in pursuit of this goal.
